Whenever the tankers depart Mildenhall in the morning we should get a good time estimate. This is the 4th day they are trying although so let’s hope it’s a go.

Saw a ROMA-82 #63-7992 today inbound Pease from MS ANG.. Maybe for second wave or leg?
Also a ROMA-81 McGuire KC-46 #20-46082 popped up for a few minutes.

Thanks Rene. I have logged 246.8 on many occasions here in the past few years. Definitely worth having on the radios!Thanks for your log again Ed .....
The F-16s were on "Cheerleader" USAF Common <246.800> on their departure but then changed to 268.300.
I haven't heard 246.800 in 5 years I think, until today ...

That is a good guess. I would assume they are staging to take them back to OK.
Actually the one I was referring to was this one...

My apologies. Since the topic was a Thunderbird flyby, I associated it to the diamond formation crash of 18 Jan, 1982 where all 4 T-38s crashed and the pilots killed near what is now Creech AFB.Actually the one I was referring to was this one...

All three KC-46’s are scheduled to land at KPSM after dropping off the F16’s now.
GOLD-41 #86-0031 again off Pease came South and picked up chicks near OC Maryland and now headed Northeast. Finally some F-16 deliveries.

No worries - the original comment by Mark was "Philly news says Italian 10 ship demo team will overfly" then the Thunderbirds snuck in on the conversation.....
Add 228.900 which is also a Huntress frequency but not used as much as 260.900
(mostly for training by local USCG helos for low level intercept practice... here in southern New Jersey).

1355 Local: ROMA62 (11-46057 305th AMW) & ROMA63 (17-46025, 22nd ARW) left EGUL and are returning to EGUL. GOLD23 (21-46061 305th AMW) is in the air coming across the pond. I wonder if the ROMA's took them so far and GOLD22 is finishing the trip as they RTB to WRI.

This is Frecce Tricolori, right? Their website shows a visit to Norfolk, VA on 8/21. Last time they were here, was NATO Fest some years ago. They staged at NAS Norfolk at that time.
73/Allen (N4JRI)
Yes correct
from the Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Frecce Tricolori — the Italian Air Force’s high-flyin’ show team — passed over Philadelphia Monday morning as part of their North American tour. The event kicked off at 10:30 a.m.
The 10-jet troupe started over Northeast Philadelphia and flew south to the Ben Franklin Bridge, with the planes’ signature red, green, and white smoke trails following close behind. Then, they turned west to fly over downtown and the Philadelphia Museum of Art before heading back to the Northeast to close the loop.
The show lasted roughly 30 minutes.
The display was part of Frecce Tricolori’s first North American tour in over 30 years, with previous stops in New York City; Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; and Augusta, Ga. Its next stop will be in Ocean City, Md., on Aug. 24 and Aug. 25, where the group will headline the OC Air Show."
